Which Mitch Do You Believe?

Just to make clear that this was a two-way scratch-my-back deal, McConnell brought along John Cornyn, the banker hugging senator from Texas who just happens to be head of the senate Republican fundraising arm. In fact, Cornyn has been making regular trips to Wall Street in recent weeks seeking their support.

So let's review: Mitch-the-the-prairie-populist is publicly pretending to be fighting Wall Street, while Mitch-the-bankers'-buddy is privately shaking them down for campaign cash in exchange for being on their team. Who could be cynical about that?
